Illamasqua Matte Veil is the matte version of Hydra veil. I had used hyrda veil before and find it not too bad.. For matte lover, I’m sure you’ll love this!

Hydrabio H2O is the 1st and only dermatological micellar water perfectly compatible with the skin. Its fatty acid esters, the constituent elements of micelles, are similar to the phospholipids of the skin cell membranes and naturally help rebuild the skin’s hydrolipidic film. Thus, Hydrabio H2O guarantees unrivalled tolerance and comfort for optimum make-up removing efficacy. Moreover, its Aquagenium® exclusive biological patent retrains the skin to activate its natural moisturising capacities by stimulating the production of aquaporins, water channels in the skin, and retain the water it needs to be balanced.

Their unique heritage and commitment to quality has stood the test of time. Generations of families have loved the fantastic moisturizing qualities of Palmer’s skincare range, and millions of women around the world agree – Palmer’s can be found in bathroom cabinets in the homes of families in more than 80 countries, making it one of the popular skincare brand.

Their #1 formula, Cocoa Butter Formula, is one of Palmer’s key offering in its wide range of skincare. Today, Palmer’s is still committed to creating affordable products that really do work, growing to provide a Palmer’s product for every skincare need : hand and body care, facial care, stretch mark care, hair care, body care and personal care.

Palmer’s is against animal testing and all of the products are cruelty free. Majority of Palmer’s products are free of parabens, phthalates and sulphates.

LATEST INNOVATION – The new age moisturizer in a can

Palmer’s is pleased to launch the new range of innovative moisturizing spray lotions. Their key ingredient is obviously their Cocoa Butter which is nature’s super beauty ingredient. It uses a unique delivery system and Rapidsorb ® Technology which is non-aerosol based and uses NO propellants to deliver fine sprays which allow the lotions to be very quickly absorbed into the skin.

Believe me, the lotions get absorbed in seconds! Also, its super-lightweight, nonstaining and non-greasy formula allows you to get dressed in a jiffy! Crafted especially for use “on the go”.

If you didn’t know, Palmer’s Rapid Moisture Spray Lotion is free of parabens and phthlates. Dermatologically and clinically tested.

SKIN IS FASHION! That’s why it is important we have to always keep our skin moisturized at all time! Dry skin makes you look OLD too!

Spray lotion is something new to me hence hence I’m kinda interested to give it a try when I was given this chance to – especially knowing it’s Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula – a superfood for skin and *excited* their brand ambassador is none other than Sonia Sui!!

Cocoa Butter is a rich natural moisturizer that leaves skin soft and silky, transforming even the roughest, driest areas into buttery soft skin. It’s also high in Vitamin A, C & E and I’m sure we all know Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and imperfections on the skin, giving a more even and toned appearance! With Shea Butter, it deeply moisturizes and nourishes to leave dry soft and radiant!

For best results, hold can 3-4 inches from skin and spray in a continuous motion. Then rub gently into skin! (I know, my 3-4 inch like so far away!!)

It’s really easy to use – spray & massage! No need to worry about uneven application! See, the lotion just landed where it should be! & just like what they promised, it’s not sticky or greasy at all!! The lotion gets absorb really fast and … I smells like Cocoa Butter! LOL!!

I suppose other than the sweet cocoa butter scent, I quite like this spray lotion! Super efficient & moisturizing spray lotion! After using, my skin feels smooth and soft to touch too!

Another thing I like about Palmer’s Spray Lotion is that, my hand doesn’t feel oily when I touched water (ie: wash my hands).. When applying regular moisturizer, one thing i dislike most is.. washing my hands! It’s not about “wash your hand after applying” but more like I ended up doing some dirty chores after applying moisturizer and need to wash my just-moisturized-hand.. Eew.. that soapy/oily feeling like I’m washing my moisturizer away – me no like! However with Palmer’s Spray Lotion, I don’t get that oily feeling at all!

Seriously, I think my photo shoot skill sucks!! I can’t really show you the smoothness on my hand but trust me, I have smooth hydrated skin now – although the image shows otherwise!!

One IMPORTANT thing to note, after you sprayed the lotion, pls be mindful that the floor will be slippery due to lotion that did not land on your hand! So don’t forget this!

If you are keen to try, head down to your nearest Watsons, Guardian, Fairprice, BHG, Robinsons, John Little and leading cosmetic stores now!

Jergens moisturising collection offers a range of products that transform skin for a noticeably improved look and feel.

Every moisturiser in their collection is designed to enhance how your skin looks and feels, to leave you total-body beautiful.

Each Jergens product is specially formulated to smooth away dryness and bring out glowing, healthier-looking skin. Jergens moisturisers go beyond the ordinary to help your skin look its best–so your unique beauty can radiate from the inside out

Jergens has recently launched its new and improved range of body moisturizers that goes beyond moisturizing, giving your skin a beautiful, envious glow. Together with the refreshed new look, the range has been reformulated with a breakthrough
Hydralucence blend that promises hydrated, luminous skin that lasts all day.

Catering to the different skin needs, the new body moisturizer range comes in three variants- the Daily Moisture for visibly smoother skin, the Soothing Aloe for visibly more refreshed skin and the Ultra Healing for visibly healthier skin.

Beyond basic skin hydration, the new formulation contains the Hydralucence blend that provides longerlasting hydration for visibly enhanced skin tone, texture, and luminosity. It also helps eliminate dullness and dryness by creating a continuous layer of moisture on your skin to prevent hydration loss.

Its long-lasting luminosity effect stem from the microscopic serum droplets in the product that forms a shield on the skin, giving it a healthy glow. 96% of the women who have tried these variants have experienced all-day skin luminosity*.

*Tested with 26 women, 8 hours after application

Jergens moisturizer comes at a super right time!! During such hot weather where I’ll be hiding in aircon room most of the time, I definitely need to feed my skin with lotsa moisturiser! Dry skin makes my hand looks old!! NOOOO!!

I’ll not be review all three but zooming in to the one I’m currently using..

If you are interested in the other two, you can click on below link to find out more..

When I first pump Daily Moisture onto my hand, I thought is was a lil too thick for my liking – eew. However, since it’s my responsibility to use it and give my honest review, I think I should still use it and share what I thought about it.. Who knows, maybe I’ll like it??

One pump gives you the amount on the top right image. More than enough for one hand! … but I guess that not much of an issue.. -___-

Indeed, not very long after I tried, I kinda change my mind.. I like the texture.. It’s actually quite gel-like and it’s easy to apply too! Although it still feels slightly thicker than other moisturiser, it can still get absorb pretty well!

And one thing I’m not sure if you had noticed.. When I apply moisturiser to bed, usually the next day when I take a shower, my skin feels soapy and oily when it touches water.. I need to scrub so hard to make this feeling gone. I just don’t like this soapy feeling..

However, when using Jergens, my skin doesn’t feels soapy or oily!!! Does that means my moisturiser are FULLY TOTALLY absorbed?? WOW.. Super thumbs up for this man!!

Last but not least, is my skin really smoother?

(yesssh!) *nods nods* My secret to smoother skin? …Jergens!

LOL.. so wayang…! But hey, it does feels smoother ok! Just not visibly smooth yet..

If you’re interested to grab your Jergens too, head down to your nearest leading supermarket, western pharmacies and/or personal care stores now! It’s retailing at S$8.90 for 400ml! Cheap and good right!? Don’t say I no share uh..

Seee! So many items this month! First thing that caught my attention is….. *drumroll*

THIS! JJOYY Bubble Peeling Pad! I had never seen this! Have you… ? I went to do a web search per the website provided and realise.. this might be another good stuff I will fall in love with!

Since the skin cells around the skin are soft tissue, if roughly treated it will cause trouble in stimulation. But it needs to be removed in 28-days period cycle to prevent dead skin cells being clogged up on the surface of the skin. If clogged, it will cause darkening and dehydration, which leads to wrinkled and dried skin!

Oh did I mention? This exfoliating pad can be reuse up to 3 times after first use. Just have to hang it in your bathroom when your done with it. Saw from some site that this pad can be used on other area where dead skin cells can be found.. ie: heels? elbow?

LA CLINICA FOR SKIN & BODY is a 100% Australian owned and operated family business established by Ms. Rita-Marie Hopfner in 1995. LA CLINICA is a cosmeceutical skin care line with a focus on visible results, efficacy, safety and organic ingredients. Its luxurious, high performance products cater to all skin types and conditions. The range was created to treat skin problems without the side-effects that can result from harsh ingredients that may create secondary skin problems, sometimes worse than the original condition.

This facial scrub uses the same exfoliating particles as a micro-dermabrasion machine. The formulation is enhanced with glycolic acid and vitamin C, suitable in a skin whitening regime. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells to allow your moisturisers and other skin care products to penetrate and work more effectively. Regular exfoliation is vital in preventing skin from looking dull, dry, scaly and lifeless. Regular use of this scrub will help you achieve a smooth, refined and radiant complexion.

This product contains active ingredients:

Glycolic Acid – Smoothes and rebalances the complexion by promoting the exfoliation of dead skin cells and unclogging blocked pores. Outer layers of the skin are gently peeled away to reveal refined, fresher, younger looking skin for a more radiant appearance. Considered to be the most effective and suitable fruit acid for skin treatment products. Naturally derived from sugar cane.

After cleansing and toning, apply this scrub onto wet skin, avoiding eye area. Lightly massage with fingertips using small circular motion. Continue for up to 2 minutes. Rinse off thoroughly with warm water and LA CLINICA facial cloth. Follow with GLY C REFINE Skin Refining Facial Mask. If you are having GLY C REFINE professional peels at a salon, exfoliate 48 hours after salon peel and use Skin Refining Mask 96 hours after salon peel.

Recoliv is the all-natural collagen product formulated with the most potent antioxidants found in olives and grapes. The collagen found in recoliv can slow down processes that impair your skin’s metabolism, thus improving skin elasticity and firmness.

1.Optimized collagen for your skin

With new German technology, the collagen has undergone a special enzymatic treatment to produce specific bioactive collagen peptides which optimizes the stimulation of fibroblasts in the skin. Having an extremely low molecular weight of 2 kDaltons, it is easily absorbed and delivered directly into the dermis, which systematically increases collagen production.

2.Optimized antioxidants for your skin

The olive and grape extracts provide a unique “total” profile of red wine and olive polyphenols with standardized content of hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol. Special extraction and purification processes have been developed to preserve the characteristics of grapes and olives, ensuring the total profile of polyphenolic compounds is retained to yield maximum benefits for your skin.

Seriously… I’m running out of idea on how-to-make-an-opening.. LOL “Hello everyone” “Hi readers”… what have i not used? *thinking*

Today, im gona share with you my July Trove box! Its a love & no love complex emotion!

So many things this month, i can even see makeup stuff in it! Bravo~! But where should i start now? Probably i’ll start with something that i had started using?

It’s Avancé Dou Demaquiillant Super – An instant remover design for resistant and waterproof eye make-up! Gentle to the eye while removing the waterproof eye makeup.
A formula that remove and at the same time gently moisture delicate eye area as it contain soothing and moisturizing ingredient, Chamomile flower extract and Trehalose.

Avancé is the pioneer for Eye Makeup and Eye Care in Japan. It was the FIRST to launch the Avancé “Mascara” with Lash Treatment and Waterproof technology to Japan in 1937.

Shake well before use, apply it on a cotton pad and wipe over the eyes gently for around 5 seconds. It can remove eyeshadow, eyebrow color and waterproof mascara effectively!

My opinion? I think this is by far the best eye makeup remover i had used. I recall that i had tried L’Oreal before but it is totally weak! Avancé made me goes WOW when im trying to remove my Maybelline’s gel liner! Gel liner user.. u know how difficult it is to remove gel liner, waterproof somemore! But with this baby, it doesn’t matter how stubborn your gel liner is, it will still melt away in no time!

I included a few pictures to show u how i remove my eyeliner using Avancé….

See my black black gel liner? It’s very difficult to remove even with BioDerm/Biore Jelly!

But what i did was to only placed my cotton pad (already soaked with reasonable amount of Avancé remover) over my eyelid for about 5 secs and i just gently swipe it across my eye and……

It’s more then half gone! I did not apply much pressure and its already half gone! This time with my unused side of cotton pad, i wipe it again and its’s near gone.. i think this is the most effective eye makeup remover i had used!

Buy again?? of course!!? it’s really good! On days that i put on heavy eye makeup, i can reply on this to clean up the mess at the end of the day! *thumbs up*

Cost: SGD$28.90 (Can be purchased at Watsons, BHG & John Little!)

If you like gel liner, i would recommend you Maybelline’s Gel Iiner Pen! Check it out HERE..

Next up, it’s Physiogel! I’ve got a travel size Physiogel Cleanser in my trove! This cleanser is a hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic soap-free cleanser that cleanses, soothes and softens without drying the skin. Its non-greasy formula does not contain animal fats, providing a gentle cleansing and maintenance of the skin’s natural pH balance. It can be used on face and body, suitable for all skin type including sensitive skin (even babies!)

The amazing thing is that.. it can be use with or without water!!

With water: Apply a liberal amount of cleanser to skin. Massage gently in a circular motion. Rinse with Water.

Without water (For delicate skin): Apply a liberal amount of cleanser to skin. Massage gently in a circular motion. Remove excess with a soft tissue or cotton wool.

Together in my trove, there also a set of trial pack (Cleanser, lotion & cream!)

Physiogel Cream/Lotion is a hypoallergenic moisturising cream that provides physiological lipids in the Derma Membrane Structure (DMS)―a structure similar to the skin, hence, revitalising dry skin.

Just apply a thin film once or twice daily. It may be used more often if necessary. Recommended for use on face and other body parts which are dry. The lotion is ideal for the entire body.

I can’t comment much on this as I’ve not use any yet. However, if you wish to try it first and share with me your thoughts, you can go to my side bar and look for the Physiogel Trial Kit link to get your trial set today! Yes, it’s free….!

Neutrogena Hydro Boost again.. oh wait! This is water gel without the SPF! The one i got in previous trove is with SPF 15! I haven’t try the one with SPF but for this, i think im good with just the sample. I don’t like the sticky sensation when I’m applying the gel.. It’s not like you can stick anything to your face but it’s the tacky feeling that i don’t like. If you think it’s lightweight, i think Laneige moisturizer is even more lightweight. If you think it cooling, i think Laneige one is even better.. Conclusion, this is not my cup of tea..

Mask from Herborist! TBH, I have not heard of Herborist before.. so i did a little google search and found this…

The time-honored cosmetology of China is still charming in today’s instrument civilization, which reflects modern people’s sensation of returning to nature.

As for how effective it is, i can only comment after i started using.. ^_^

How many have heard of Jane Iredale? I have… NOT (again).. This month VT recommended many brand that i’m new to! 🙂

Jane Iredale is the president and founder of Iredale Mineral Cosmetics, a company she founded in 1994 which brought the mineral makeup line jane iredale to the aesthetic industry. She was the first to supply this industry with a line of makeup that had skin care benefits.

She was inspired to develop a makeup that was good for the skin by her career in the entertainment industry where she saw actresses and models struggling with the ill-effects of the many kinds of makeup they wore. Her experience in working with women whose careers depended on a clear complexion allowed her to see how skin disorders and sensitivities not only threatened careers, but also destroyed self-confidence.

Jane has always thought of makeup as an essential part of a woman’s sense of well-being and she wanted to make that easy to achieve. That’s why her mineral powders are a foundation, powder, concealer and sunscreen all in one, and why every product in the line is multi-functional. Her goal is to make products that look good, feel good and are good for the skin. Products must be easy to apply, as well, so that a woman can be her best in the shortest amount of time.

This has had an international resonance. The jane iredale brand is carried throughout the United States and world-wide in more than forty countries.

Jane’s success in reaching women of all ages and nationalities is based on the belief that true makeup artistry comes not from trying to make a face conform to the latest fashion trends, but from enhancing the wearer’s natural beauty and, as a result, allowing her personality to shine.

So now, let’s see what Jane Iredale product we have in my trove..

GLOW TIME™ FULL COVERAGE MINERAL BB CREAM

Glow Time covers blemishes, minimizes pores, disguises wrinkles and smooths and brightens skin. It looks luminous yet feels velvet. It comes with 6 shades too!! Now i can get the shade similar to my skin tone!

PUREPRESSED® BASE MINERAL FOUNDATION

A sheer and semi-matte mineral foundation that feel is weightless. Trust their mineral foundation to look like your skin, only better!

LIPDRINK™ SPF 15 LIP BALM

This colorless lip balm really is a drink for the lips. I tried a little on my lips, i like the lemony scent but i don’t like the look it has on my lips.. Maybe i applied too much? Seems like it leave a layer of white residue on my lips.. now everyone knows i applied lip balm from 100m aways! LOL..

JUST KISSED® LIP AND CHEEK STAIN

A lip and cheek stain that provides long-lasting, custom color to lips and cheeks.

Under certain angle, you will then see the Lipdrink’s shine.. Lip & Cheek Stain is still sheer pinkish color.. and i’m still wondering.. “how can it be a cheek stain this way??” I ignored my hand and continue with the photo taking of all my trove product.. about 15 mins later when i’m packing up….

I got a shock, the lip & cheek stain changed color!! Or rather the color turned darker! Now it is a cheek stain! hahahaa.. It looks very natural and not too drama.. I’m pretty impress.. Moving fwd, i might consider trying more of their product if they’re not too difficult to get..

Vichy is pretty hot in Singapore, been seeing the ads a lot on TV.. and now i can get my hands on it again (I think i had previously used their whitening sample – Bi-White Lotion? Can’t recall how is it but… if i can’t recall means it isn’t that fantastic?? You decide..)

This purifying, cleansing gel is rich in Salicylic acid and Totarol for cleansing action and in Eperuline for anti-irritating action. Purified, your skin is smoothed and visibly healthier.

Both ultra-effective and ultra-gentle, the purifying, cleansing gel is kind, even to the most sensitive skin. Its gel texture provides purifying cleansing that is easy and pleasant to apply and easy to rinse off.

Unique combination of 3 peeling active ingredients: Salicylic Acid, Glycolic acid and LHA. These acids penetrate the skin at different levels* to impregnate the entire epidermis and regenerate the skin, layer after layer**.

The PARABEN-FREE formula is kind, even to sensitive skin. The melting, comfortable texture makes it easy and pleasant to apply for comfort that lasts all day long.

It is suitable for all skins, even sensitive. A bandage-gel which penetrates quicky. Non shiny, non sticky, non greasy. The hygienic cold applicator targets the pimple and relieves from pain and inflammation.

Last but not least, we have Celliluxin my July Trove! Should i reveal the price first? (Hahaha) it cost S$78 for 60g! 60g only.. gosh..

Cellilux is a unique company with a truly unique product. Built on the belief that beauty is created with skin that is naturally healthy, they’ve been able to develop a mask that stands out above the rest, providing visible benefits promised by many, but only ever rarely achieved. By harnessing the power of mother nature, natural minerals found in the earth and revoking the use of acids and chemicals.

Cellilux (British Columbia Canada) is the newest way to achieve beautiful skin without any acids or damaging chemicals. The nutrients and rare Glacial water in Cellilux help to reverse damage to your skin and supply the foundation for rebuilding age-defying collagen and elastic, leaving you the smooth, fresh, hydrated, radiant glow of youthful skin renewed.

Cellilux originates a look no other product can give you:

Reduce Wrinkles

Helps with Acne

Close Pores

Cleanse naturally

Excellent hydration

Slows the effects of aging

Revives circulation

Removes dead skin cells

Creates soft silky skin

This is the first time this product is available in the Asia! This same Glacial clay was used in high end Spas in Europe and Japan and was not available to the public. Clients were spending up to two-hundred dollars for just one facial for the silky smooth results they were getting. Now you can have the same results at an affordable price.

SCIENCE OF CELLILUX

1. Your skin is deeply penetrated through specially structured water for intense hydration.

2. Glacial Minerals detoxify your skin by bringing all of the impurities to its surface.

3. Those same minerals actually work with your DNA, instructing your skin to activate youth-bringing processes such as collagen production. Your skin is revitalized like never before.

4. The gel works as an Exfoliator which is a critical step in maintaining the health of your skin and acquiring a youthful look. The negatively charged minerals ‘The ION Factor’ in the Cellilux draws the positively charged toxins (like a magnet) is what separates Cellilux from all other clays.

How to use? Start by washing skin thoroughly with warm water. Pat skin dry and apply a comprehensive layer of the gel. Keep it on for 20 minutes. Gel should be dry. Use warm water to completely rinse the gel from your skin. Follow up with a spray of chilled water to close your pores and seal in the effects of the gel. Can be used on body as well as face.

First thing first.. My apologise for the not so good resolutions pictures that you are going to see in this post! i think must be due to the battery running low!

Providing broad spectrum SPF 20 UVA/UVB sunscreen protection from the harmful, damaging rays of the sun, Tinted Moisturizer features an antioxidant vitamin complex that acts a free radical scavenger to protect the skin from even the most aggressive effects of the environment. Perfect for all skin types, Tinted Moisturizer is extremely long-wearing and remains colour true.

Used this afternoon before heading out to meet my beau! What i think? GOOD! hahaha!

I applied this after my moisturizer.. OK, i know what u are thinking.. this is already a (tinted) moisturizer why would i still use one?? actually i’m a little kiasu! i still think its better to complete my regular daily regimes and it makes me feel more protected too! To me, tinted moisturizer is more like a moisturized foundation. So, of cuz i would still use my moisturizer before foundation. But as compared to a foundation, this is less better in coverage. If you are looking for something with good coverage, this is not for u.

Back to what i did, i applied this, after my moisturizer, like a makeup base! then i tap on my bb cream (concealer) on spots and finish it off w my mineral loose powder. How do i look? MARVELLOUS of course!!! hahaha! i feel nothing too special when i first apply (application was really smooth and easy i must say!), in fact i din feel it was lightweight.. but after my makeup is almost set (i watched a bit of TV, before looking at the mirror again – need to make sure i look ok before stepping out of my house!! hahahah) i got a shock.. my complexion looks really … RADIANT & DEWY! i think i like this tinted moisturizer.. but if i need to buy it myself.. probably have to wait till the time is ripe! LOL~

Bellabox Mirror!! good to carry around!! slim and light weight!! hahahah! erm.. but it has a really stink smell! Because of the material i guess.. just need to get used to it and let it “mix” with natural air for some time…

Last but not least… a S$5 voucher for you to spend at Beauty by Nature!! that makes my box sort of like only $2.50!?

I’m soooo sorry that i missed out this post!! My August Trove! This trove is quite useful for me in a way.. it’s all stuff that i will use.. 🙂

Princess Pinki cream!!!!! wow! those who read my blog.. you knew i bought a Princess Pinki Trove some time ago in July.. and now i see this cream.. i was like.. WTH~!! If this is included in a regular trove then why should/would i spend my money on the limited edition one?!

True enuff that for a $25 trove its very joyous thing to rec’d a princess pinki but the thot of myself spending $40 on the limited edition made me goes crazy~!!! %^&*#$

Here.. another serum.. i think this can be found in Sasa.. haven use this yet.. guess will review it when i used it.

Eye Shadow~ well.. eye shadow is my forever nightmare~ i can nvr do my eyeshadow neatly nicely~!!! But still is is good to see some cosmetic in my trove!!

Wow~!! BB Cream.. my love~~ this is from Pure Beauty. i don’t think this bb cream have any sunblock effect as nothing like thst was stated in and out of the packaging.. i believe this is a full BB Cream and i plan to gift it out as Christmas gift to my friend! I cant bear to say goodbye to it but the fact that it has no SPF made me felt … “oh i still need extra sunblock care”.. pure laziness! >_<

Are all beauty surprise box gona do same thing every month?? they all include eyeshadow and nail polish in the same month~! but i muz say.. i prefer this color more than what i got in Bellabox!

This is a almost nude color with some duochrome effect~! very pretty.. its a good color for days when i want to go simple but let people notice i’m wearing polish~!

Next few items that im gona show u are the extra treats i got from entering the promo code into my subscription.

How to get the promo code? Just need to share that one particular post that VT post on their wall every month telling you what’s the theme for the coming trove, follow the steps and they will send you the code to enter to your subscription!

What did i get? haha! Leader’s Hydrgel Eye Patch.. it’s quite light weight and fits nicely. Cooling and the fact that it is transparent, people can’t see that you are doing your masking session unless they come very near you!! hahahaha!!

No more “I SAW A GHOST” incident… =P

Next here is this sweet yummy mask!!! this mask is sooooo sweet and smell so yummy! i love this~! this brand is quite common and i think it has been around for quite some times already.

My skin feels clean and smooth after i washed off the mask.. definitely a mask that i will purchase again.. *thumbs up!*

It’s another pure beauty cream.. but this time it is not eye cream! this is a lotion!! haven use it tho but i believe it will smell as nice effect as good as the eye cream!

Together in this month’s trove, there is a complimentary facial and a S$5 Sasa voucher! Sasa voucher is super useful for me.. as for the facial… i think i can go when i have the time!

THIS IS COOL! Vanity Trove Pink Carpet event – Sally Hansen Nail Care Nail Art Workshop!! I’m so tempted to go~!! but.. need to save up quite a bit so i think gona give it a miss this time.. 😦

I might change my mind anytime tho~! wahahahaha!!

If you know La Mer i think you might be interested in this… but i’ve attended too much beauty workshop this month, im gg to skip this as well… oops!

Just when i thot i’ll be missing my June box last night.. there comes a knock on my door!! As i peep through my peep hole, i saw my favourite courier guy!! He’s here to bring mi my June Bellabox!!! Why i say favourite?? Because he’s the very patient courier who delivered my first VT to me.. i think this time round he sort of knew that i wun be home early so he came rather later..? or maybe i’m just guessing too much! hahaha!

Anyway… i’m still glad to be able to rec’d my Bellabox before i go to bed!!!!

We have LOADS of goodies in this month’s box!! See.. it’s all 好料！！Biotherm.. Lancome.. Shu Uemura.. Ralph Lauren.. Kiehl’s.. and this time round, Bellabox throw in quite a few giveaway in the box.. 😀

So here … let’s take a look what do we have from Biotherm…

A BB Cream.. i think i’ve been rec’g quite a number of good BB cream lately.. I’m very happy about it.. So what’s sepcial about this BB Cream? well.. other thn the usual SPF protection, it’s also oil-free, provide 24hrs hydration and give you a natural pink undertone of skin shine.. What attracts me most is that.. repeated use of this BB Cream, dark spots fade and skin radiates!! Ain’t that unbelieveable?!

Now here’s another “body lotion”.. this is Biotherm’s anti-drying body milk.. This body milk smells really familiar.. i just can’t recall what is it… it’s not just orange or lemon.. it’s.. it’s……..

I tried a lil bit on my hand and it doesn’t feels very oily and it gets absorbed very quickly.. it makes mi wana apply more cuz i feel as if the lotion is gone.. as for how moisturizing it is, i think i have to try a few more time.. but as of now, I’m quite liking this two Biotherm product!!

Next from Kiehl’s.. Midnight Recovery Concentrate(left blue).. i heard many good review about this working wonders..

In the day, your skin is busy fending off environmental aggressors like free radicals. At night, the skin gets a breather to repair the damages, as there are few environmental aggressors to detract it from its healing process. The formulations of Midnight Recovery Concentrate and Midnight Recovery Eye enhance the natural repair and regeneration process at night, when your skin is at its maximum ability to absorb nourishing ingredients. This dream team is formulated with a complex blend of botanical oils including Squalane, Evening Primrose and essential oils including therapeutic Lavender which are rich in Omega 3, 6 and 9 to biologically replicate skin’s natural lipids and dramatically restore skin overnight. Both products are free from artificial fragrances, parabens and mineral oil, nourishing your whole face in the most natural way possible.

Enuff said! i think i will try this to9!!!! *can’t wait*

Next we have this Calendula Herbal-Extract Toner. It has real flowers in the bottle.. WOW.. im so amazed!!

This effective toner is formulated with select herbal extracts to gently cleanse and soothe normal to oily skin types without the use of alcohol or harsh synthetic drying agents. Our Calendula Herbal-Extract Toner may be used to soothe and improve problem areas.

i will save the best for last.. i think i will used this after i finish my existing stock of toner…

Next we have here is Lancome’s product! (wow.. things are getting better!! i think i will expect more from Bellabox in future leh!! oh no..)

Crystal Brightness! Seriously.. i have not even open up and peek at this yet.. im so clueless wat to write about this.. hahaha!! i shall review it again when i got the chance to!!

Next, Youth Activator… Zhun bo?? haha i think my mom will love this… but come to think of it.. isnt it time for me to use anti-aging products too!!??!! Looking at the ads i think this youth activator mite works!! hahaha good marketing!

Ralph Lauren Eau De Parfum.. eh.. quite surprisingly it smells nice.. i like the smell.. its not those feminine type of scent.. quite strong.. it’s definitely not sth like kenzo flower or Bvlgari Rose Essential.. heartz!!

Shu Uemura cleansing oil.. this is a make up remover from wat i know.. but not those that are strong enuff to remove waterproof makeup.. i shall try this to9 and keep you guys posted!! 😀
